If I want to install Drupal 5.0 to check it out - what do I do?

Where is the cvs repository? or where are some tarballs of the source?

see the Handbook page on Drupal's main repository (i.e. the Drupal core). Check out the trunk/HEAD (no tag), since the code that will be Drupal 5.0 isn't branched yet. You can also browse the repsitory at: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/drupal/

From the Handbook:

To check out the latest Drupal sources, run the command:

$ cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal checkout drupal

Btw, please don't put support requests as comments in the handbook.

If you are not searching (and reading the handbook) at all then how are you going to tackle with the issues you find? How will you create a good bug report and avoid duplicates? Do you know, for example, which state Drupal 5.0 is in at this moment?

Or with a more positive spin, if you want to get involved with finding and quashing bugs, one place to get a sense of what's going on with the latest code is to read though the devel list archives: http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/development/

Another would be to look at the pending bugs and recently committed patches.
